MEMPHIS, TN - The Norfolk Tides (28-41) fell 10-7 to the Memphis Redbirds (39-30) on Wednesday afternoon at AutoZone Park. Norfolk scored five runs in the top of the seventh behind three home runs, but their comeback was too little too late.

Vimael Machín (1-for-4, HR, RBI) came through two batters later for his seventh long ball of the year. Maverick Handley (1-for-3, R, BB) played in his first game with Norfolk since being optioned by Baltimore and reached base three times by way of a single, walk and fielder's choice.

Memphis saw big performances by Jose Fermín (4-for-5, 2 2B, HR, 3 RBI), who tallied three extra-base hits and now has five in the series, and Nathan Church (1-for-3, HR, 5 RBI, 2 R) who hit a grand slam for his first career Triple-A home run.
